Sheila E. Murphy

Sheila E. Murphy. In 2020, Luna Bisonte Prods released Golden Milk.

Broken Sleep Books brought out the book As If To Tempt the Diatonic Marvel from the Ivory (2018).  Murphy is the recipient of the Gertrude Stein Award for her book Letters to Unfinished J.

Initially educated in instrumental and vocal music, Murphy is associated with music in poetry. She earns her living as an organizational consultant and researcher and holds a PhD degree. She has lived in Phoenix, Arizona throughout her adult life.

welcome to my attitude

 

the line of code is shifting

sun has gelled ahead of the instinctual spun clouds

a meal of pollen from these floodlit bees adds timbre

to the guest list

as a coaster quest of afternoon, of aftermath,

of swift sunshine sessioning the jam of

frost as it partakes of altar cloth

within the pinched young city of our aptness

 

go ahead and happen in my sleep

I supplicate your floodlights when I'm piercing

sanity and flesh from vantage points of beautiful

brown eyesight in a newly fashioned wilderness

beside these first-hand breaths

 

if this were an original of winter I would sweep out

my harmonica and sandwich in a solstice melody

free-pour repartee to patch these sylph-like figurines

 

thereby postpone unwanted habits to another

lifetime in which genuflection seems a hobby

where each pinch of silver casts aside the

leverage

wedged between hypotenuse and shoot-young green
